It has been 7 weeks since one of the worst days of my life happened. I woke up sick on Oct. 9 so I stayed home from school. I watched T.V and went to the store with my mom. When the kids got home from school the bad news happened. The new neighbors came over and asked if by brothers wanted to play football on our front yard. I told them they they had to get their homework done and then they would come out.
Fifteen minutes later the boys got impatient so they came to the door again to ask if the boys would be coming out soon. Aiden opened the door and Coal leaped out and bit the little boy that stood outside. My mom ran outside to see if the little boy was okay. He was bleeding and really scared so my mom brought him to his mom.
She came into the house and said that we had to get rid of Coal. This time I knew that it was really going to happen. One of the best things that had ever happened to me and one of my best friends would be gone. I knew that I couldn't do it.
The next day right before school I took a treat and had Coal do all of the tricks that I had taught him, crying harder then I ever had before. Then I gave him a big hug a told him that I would never forget him and that I would always love him. Then I got in the car to go to school. I knew that I would never see him. My mom took him to the shelter that day while I was at school.
I have carried his tag everywhere I've gone since then. I have the feeling of his name on the tag memorized from rubbing my finger against it so many times. Now that's it's been over 6 weeks I know that there is no way that I can get him back. But I will always remember him and love him.
